Kobo Offers One Free Book A Month; Hopes To Match Amazon’s Offering

Starting from January 2012 Kboo, in an attempt to match Amazon’s Lending Library proposition, will start to offer a free download each month to new Touch eReader owners. Kobo customers will be able to pick from a broad selection of Pride and Prejudice, HBR’s 10 Must Reads: On Managing People and Star Wars Vs. Star Trek. Unfortunately, the offer is limited to devices purchased between November 24 and March 31 2012, but Kobo is hoping that the ability to hold on to the titles indefinitely will cancel out Amazon’s legion of free rentals. Users can sign up to the ebook’s offers mailing list for the full details. Remember: A book is for life, not just for Christmas.
